| | | stop lifting more push ups?
i have a question that i've been pondering about for the last couple weeks. what happens if you stop weight lifting and instead just do push ups? is that gonna be bad or does that have no effect, will i loose muscle mass since i stopped weight lifting? any comments and opinions would be helpful. |

| | | Push ups only use 1/5th of the muscles in your body. So you need more than that. |
